I live in the Wilderness!

You'll appreciate this dad!

Check out what I saw outside my window just an hour ago!
(click on the pictures to make the BIGGER!)

I'm pretty sure that's a WILD PHEASANT!

If it's not wild, then it has escaped from somewhere, but it's in my yard!

How cool is that?!

I tried to take a picture when it was still close and in the open, but

of course the camera focused on the rain/snow spots on the outside of the window, so I had to sneak outside.

By the time I got outside, he had moved into the taller

grasses.

When he left, I took these cool pictures.

When I was interrupted by this:

Yeah, that's a wild deer! Haha.
S/he just stood there and looked at me for a little while while I took pictures of her.

Then she walked away and either started jumping or stamping at something--I couldn't see, but HOW COOL!

And just one more picture of the beautiful cool fall/winter morning here outside my front door!
